Local government works together to successfully administer over 50,000 COVID vaccine shots
Sunday marked an important milestone in Odessa as Medical Center Hospital completed Phase 1 of the mass vaccination of Odessa residents. Working together with City of Odessa staff and with the support of ECISD, OC and UTPB the MCH staff performed a near flawless roll-out of thousands of vaccine shots during the past few weeks at Ratliff Stadium. In addition to paid staff, dozens of volunteers worked tirelessly to provide support and encouragement to a small army of medical personnel to complete the shots. Phase 2 now begins with the administration of second round booster shots and continued first round shots through MCH clinics across Odessa. A big round of thanks to MCH CEO Russell Tippin, Mayor Javier Joven, Superintendent Scott Muri, and all their leadership and staff members that made Phase 1 such a success.
As always, working for a better community!
